Need info on oiling an Edison cylinder machine

[bruv]

Is there a website or place to go that shows, by drawings, how to oil a common Edison cylinder machine. I need illustrations and things like that, but not You Tube or any video places. This is for an older man who doesn't use internet. I want to send him a copy of illustrations/ or instructions. Thanks for any help you may give.

"A Complete Manual of the Edison Phonograph" by Tewksbury is a good source. It's on-line in Google Books, plus you can get a paper copy. It covers just about everything. Oiling instructions are in the Spring Motor chapter. It's very simple, but no illustrations.

Good luck!

Thank you for that. That may just work.

Which model does he have? I think the manual that came with the machines details all that.

Is there a place that has those manuals on line to see? I may just take a picture of top and motor and just draw circles and lines to give him an idea.
